Let's be realistic. The command they run is 'python', 'python2' or
'python3'. Sure, it's a symlink, but that's what users actually type to
be executed.
The entire point of packaging Python 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9 is to
support users who need to be that explicit. The fact that you don't
consider this use case dos not justify the "let's be realistic" comment.
Please, don't.
In every environment I've seen a specific version used, the primary symlink is
updated to point to the version that's supported or being used. For example,
at work engineers asked for Python 2.7 to be installed on all of the systems
in a given department, so my team installed the SCL, created a wrapper and
updated the symlink 'python' to point to it.
Good for you. How does that support your argument?
